I am pleased to report that I have finished the second draft of the novel. It has taken nine months. I took a chapter per week and analysed it in terms of the structure, setting, character and style. This was in tandem with researching the thesis and part-time work.
This will not be the last draft; there will be one more that will take account of my tutor’s comments. Hopefully, I will then be able to send it to an agent. There will then be further drafts...
I’ve treated myself to a break this week and watched some recorded documentaries related to the novel. I have also started to think about life after the PhD but it’s dependent to a certain extent on whether my novel is published.
